Hi,
i recently switched to wm6.5 (miri).
Now i want to use customized backrounds for my HD -> those from "Lost in Asia ROM".
As I want to use a different bg for landscape and portarit - I think I have to use a Theme do I?
So I tried to genarate one with ThemeGenCE.
MS Theme Gen doesnt support new WVGA themes...
But When I use my generated them it didn't set the pictures.. and it messes up the new "WM6.5 Lockscreen" completely.
I also tried to modify an existing theme (renaming to zip) and replace the pictures inside (skwater 001 and 002) and repack but it didn't work either... same as above.
Anyone knows how generate a working WM6.5 Theme?
I would also help just to know the REG-Key or where to place my bg files to set this up.
THX

bump the message...
Can't be that hard I tought? No one got this problem?
To be honest I'm not sure what you actualy want? When you say theme do you also mean different colour theme for Portrait and Landscape? not sure if this is possible?
However if you are refering to having different background of your choice for Portrait and Landscape then you can simply rename any .jpeg picture of your choice to stwater_480_800.jpg (Portrait) and stwater_800_480.jpg (Landscape) then simply copy them over to windows folder using resco file explorer or total commander! if you already know this then I'm sorry I could not help you on this occasion!

no didn't know that it's that easy... I'll try.
I know its not possible to have different colorschemes for Port. & Land.
By theme, I meant the *.TSK Files which one could create for WM. They contain the Pictures for Port. & Land. + the colorscheme information.
As I described above I didn't get it managed to create such a file working on WM6.5 using a theme generator- worked on 6.1 - but messes up the new WM6.5 Lockscreen
So the question for a working WM6.5 theme generator is still open but not that important to me now.
Thank you, if that works, its all I want (for now) ;-)

So... because you've all helped me learn much about my new Blackstone.. I thought I'd contribute this theme:
It's pretty basic: just a clock, a background some modified frames and tab icons.
All graphics were plundered from free sources.... As you can tell I was playing with transparency.
To use it please rename .theme.zip to just .theme and install with diamond tf3d or just copy the files into your windows directory.
Anyway.. I don't use 15 tabs so if anyone notices icons in the wrong place please tell me and I'll switch them over.
Also installed and relevant:
Diamond TF3D config - to install the .theme file
Cyprus LTD Colored Top - For the pretty topbar icons
NisseDILLIGAF 3Iconmenu - To remove extra tab icons
NisseDILLIGAF NoCurtains - For no curtains
Aside from that.. hope you like.
good....thank you.
i want 15 tab...can u made it?
sorry my bad english...
All the icond for extra tabs are included.. but may be the wrong way round! Let me know and i'll swap them.
=[
Im new to all this...do i jus drag n drop to my memory card??

The best way is to create another folder called Themes inside your My Documents folder and save the .zip file attached in there.
Then download a program called Diamond tf3d config (you can find it here on xda with a quick search) Then use the programs installl themes function (it's in the appearance tab)
That way you can switch easily between themes without needing to install and uninstall cabs all the time.
i dont see the tabs in transparency mode... why is that? its all grey instead like the defalut one.
do i nned to use special manila? or program?..
your theme is really beautiful!

Thanks.
You still have your tab curtains there...
You can use either or both of these cabs to get rid of the curtains.
Thank you!
works great with the first CAB file you gave me
what does the other one do?
Edit: ok i got it
thnx alooooooot but after i installed it it works with out bar icons like battery , etc.... how can i get it
plzzzzzzzzzz
This is my first theme, so don't expect too much . It replaces the portrait (ONLY portrait) wallpaper, the icons (could not find the manila file for the stock icon, so if you decide to use my theme, please disable this tab), the slider and the clock. The theme is for the new manila with the new start menu, which means there is no icon for the programs tab (yet).
Thanks to maxycy for his theme maker, which saved me a lot of time locating the necessary manila files .
Uninstalling works fine and don't mind the warning when installing the cab file - guess I screwed up making it for specific version of WM.
thanks man.
it's beautiful.
If there is interest I can make a landscape wallpaper and icon for the programs tab. Also if anyone knows which file is for the stocks tab, I can make that too. And of course the color can be changed too, so I am opened to suggestions for that.
good job man
With the growing number of ROMs and all the hardwork put behind them, I feel its time to have a comprehensive tutorial for skinning or theming WM 6.5 titanium.
There is a tutorial available, but somehow its difficult to comprehend. Perhaps one of the theme GURUS can answer these,
1. Does wm6.5 require tsk files or has its own code.
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
If some one can help in the above, I have a lot of time to create some great themes and even take requests.
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.
can i change the Today pic .. like 1 for the titanium homescreen and another 1 for the Menu background?
and u cant have a separate 1 for landscape mode hey? ^^
Nah i dont think you can have seperate background for menu and today in titanium.
You can change the minimize tab and the main tab though for landcape and portrait.

If you want a new Theme you'll have to download the img files of the theme and the tsk file (usually they are packed in one cab)
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
Don't know =) You can try it and share your Results
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
Open the cab with an Cab Manager and replace the stwater background file
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
you can replace them... but i'd rather create a new one because it's nearly the same work

Can create my own one XD
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.

Hello,
I have a big problem and try to fix it...
Well, how to fix transparent problem on EnergyROM 3.0 (Manila 2.1) for drag button using hero TF3D manilla 2.1 V1.0 theme?
The theme is here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538826).
Thanks
Try putting these manila files in your windows directory. I believe EnergyROM has a transparent slider, like LucarP's, which disables the top layer of tab icons to avoid 'shadowing'. The files I've attached are from the original, non-transparent slider.

When using Wallpapers that are more on the bright side and BG4all, it becomes really difficult to read the text on some of the HTC Sense (Manila 2.5) tabs, especially the messaging one.
So I was wondering if it is possible to change the font color to black or something else.
Anyone know something about this?
Thanks,
Rag.

Same question here.
I found a thread where they talk about it but its not Manila 2.5.
So I would like to know which Files I have to edit in 2.5
Here is the Thread I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452
Thank you for help
I use m9Editor, look for the mode9 files for the parts u want to change..
Manila mode9 u can search say for all entries called "text" this will so you things such as carrier name, in there you can add a property for the colour and change it to what you want.
Look for the m9editor thread, much better explanations in there than I can give
Found them;-
My example, if this is what you mean - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570395
Edit Manila - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567515
font and colors for the preview on tab change are on 3a8e04af t
thanks for the search for "text" tip that lead me right to what I needed.
